First they came for the Civil War Veterans, and no one said anything. Then they came for us.
Why is this happening?
Why are Confederate monuments being torn down, in the middle of the night? If the liberals are so proud of what they are doing, why not make a big announcement and do it in the light of day?
Also, where are basic facts?
Such as, the fact that Democrats were the key party behind the KKK. The fact that a revered Democrat, Robert Byrd, was a member of the KKK.
The fact that proportionally more Republicans, than Democrats, voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The fact that Republican Senator Everett Dirksen was a key Senator in working to break the Democrat filibuster of the Civil Rights Act.
This is just off the top of my head. I know others have put out many more such inconvenient truths. But this narrative that somehow the GOP and Trump are all racists and all this other crap, should be countered with some simple facts such as I have just mentioned.
But will these facts ever make their way into the media? Is there any semblance of being fair and balanced anymore, on any news channel?
Naah. Democrat Abe Lincoln freed the slaves. LBJ gave them their civil rights from the evil Jewish Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964. Voting Republican can cause Black people’s genitals to fall off and instantaneous return to slavery. That’s what the media and teachers tell me.
Not every locale is treating this suddenly hot topic the same way. Some have openly voted by day to privatize the rebel monuments. The night moves follow to minimize the riot potential.
I say good. Every real redneck picked his own cotton picking cotton. He has no pro-secession dog in the fight. Let a million museums bloom. But don’t call what we had a civic act.
The radical left are experts of deception and manipulation. This is about taking down America, ushering in a socialist society under the cover of social justice...using White this, KKK that, a nazi behind every bush. This is about Trump and those who supported him. Innocently stroll through a park with a MAGA Tshirt on with a protest going on. You'll be attacked.
Folks should know better by now. Rules for radicals utilized to throw conservatives off kilter. Rage! Accuse! Tear it down, use violence.
This country is indeed disintegrating. I'm beginning to truly believe we are heading toward a civil war. Sounds crazy, but looking at the terrain....I dunno.

“The fact that proportionally more Republicans, than Democrats, voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”
My guess is that it will come as news to you that Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan both opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Conservatives all did. They recognized it for the vast expansion of government power over individuals that it has been from the start.
Republicans of course did put the bill over the top for FDR’s protege Lyndon Johnson. Moderates like Dirksen but definitely all of the GOP’s liberal Rockefeller wing
I recall only a couple of months ago, a Democrat make a crude inference that George Wallace was a Republican - the statement went unchallenged by the interviewer who probably slept thru history class in high school.
